be easy for operators to break current

either to sell or export. The sale has not
exerted any special influence on the Lon

RusslA's SPLENDID MILITARY SHOW.
How . Major Of Duh Regular Army

How . Major Of Our Regular Army
Got to . b Big Show.
Maj. Upham, Of our regular army, who
| had been sent by our government to France
to observe the improvement in tactics, re
solved to go up to St Petersburg. When he
got there be found that a splendid review, to
| occupy ten days, with sham battles, was
about to take place in the environs of st.
| Petersburg. He had left his uniform and
sword in Pariss and to send for them would
have required that they pass across several
nations and be stopped at all their custom
houses. So he applied to the secretary Of
legation, who was a Philadelphia and a very
decent fellow, but slightly under the Euro
pean morale, to go and see this review. He
was told that that was a country of etiquette
and that he might as well abandon the idea
of seeing the review. A note was written
to make that request in his behalf, and the
answer was that he must appear in uniform
and sword. made that request for him, in
fact, of the legation, as was my duty, being
in the consular service.
After it was refused I said to him: "Now,
I have obeyed the regulations Of my Office,
and I will get you permission on my own ac-
count to go out there" I told him to'say
nothing TO anybody else. Iwrote to the gen.
eral commanding the camp. Word came
back at once that at the railroad station
Maj. Upham would find his ticket. I went
out there with him and was taken up to the
room Of the general He was a rude, gray
old man, who sat there with his vest off and
not very considerate about the cleanliness Of
his shirt. He said: @Good morning, general.
Where is your frienda" I introduced Maj
Upham.
Said he: @Yous shall have every opportunity
to see what we are doing here. II you want
to take soldier fare with US in a tent you can
have it I wish 4 had my own hotel here to
entertain you. But there is q little hotel down
the street where you can find fair accommo-
dations Every morning at your door will
be horses and orderlies Make yourself at
home; see everything; whenever you want
to, join my staff" This man was a duke; SO
we stayed u there ten days and saw mag
nl1cent tactics. They had sham battles and
splendid cavalry maneuvers, and I think Up
ham had a first rate chance.
When we came back to st. Petersburg the
secretary of legation said that he was sorry
Maj. Upham had not brought his sword and
uniform, but there was no remedy under such
a government of etiquette. aH-,n said

had a first rate time."-Gen. F. NJ. B. Young

THE A

The Eastern Republican press are NOR.
tally afraid that Cleveland will be the
choice OF the country for asecond term and
now lose no opportunity to belittle his
services and to endeavor to create dissen.
sion among Democrats to the end that a
weaker man may be selected. This will
not work.
The country as a rule is satisfied with Mr..
Cleveland. 1t has had two years. ex per
fence OF his methods and two years in
sight into his purposes, and the country is,
upon the whole, entirely contented. 1t
may not please the Republicans nor a few
disconnected Democrats that Mr.. Cleve-
land fails to shape his policy after the
model OF q ward politician and to employ
the great trusts committed to his charge
in the spirit Of narrow party huckster
1t may seem to these broad-minded
patriots that the President ought to infuse
into his plans the sordid aduIterant of
division" They may think it his duty to
administer the Govern uent of the United
States by the standard OF reward for party
service without reference to the fitness, the
character or ability Of the individual. But,
no matter how these indictments argue,
the question remains whether the coustry
10 willing to accept their mean and ignoble
standard Of duty and the conclusion is
inevitable that the country is not willing to
do any such thing.
Fortunately for the country, the CLIQUE
now engaged in belittling and misrepre-
senting the President are more noisy than
numerous, impudent rather thar infuen.
tial. The disconnected ones maintain a
great clamor and load the, air with pro.
test and objurgation: but they represent
nobody save themselves, and they exert
not the potent influence OF sincerity and
brains. Mr.. Cleveland has behind him
the respect and confidence OF thoughtful
and patriotic men throughout the nation.
He has satisfied the public opinion that
he seeks the honor and safety and welfare
OF the United States, and thathe possesses
the courage and the intelligence to keep
his feet in the straight path.
He has led his party to victory once,
and he has given the country the cleanest,
most vigorous and most benefcent adj
ministration it has enjoyed for many
year,. Does the country wish to exchange
Democratic rule for mere party re-
wardf Do the patriotic masses OF this
republic wish to confide it's revenues to the
apostles Of emolument, and to consisn it's
future to the mercenary evolution of the
spoil system3 Certainly not. They have
had enough OF that during the past quar-
ter OF . century and are not willing to re-
peat their experience. Cleveland is the
man for the people. He is still young, Wig
orous and active. and though not con.
Dumed with ambition for additional pub
ic honors, he will cheerfully serve this great
nation another four years if called upon
